I'm really surprised at the positive reviews this hairspray gets. I have the sample size, as well, and for a "fierce shaper", I've found the hold is very disappointing. I like at least a medium to firm hold. The bottle even says, "ultra firm hold"> I'm sorry, but no. I've sprayed the roots at the side of my face several times (spray, wait, spray, wait) to get them to hold up and they just fell limp. I'm glad this spray worked for someone, just. Do others find the hold to be ultra firm? Just curious. Perhaps it is just more of an all over light/medium hold that I don't usually need.

I adore this hairspray!! I've bought it three times now! The scent doesn't interfere with my perfume, I dont' even smell it after I use it. It does not flake, it holds my coarse hair's style no fail. I have the travel size, I won't be without it! You won't regret this purchase!

Shaper Fierce holds much better than the original...at least for me because I have very thick, long, heavy hair. I really like the super fine mist and the fact that the spray nozzle doesn't clog up or get sticky... and it sprays clean every time. It gives my hair volume and hold without stickiness, dryness, dulling or flaking. I also like the sleek black bottle better than the original white one. Will buy again unless I find something better.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!Don't let the name on the can fool you. This will NOT make your hair stiff, but rather voluminous, shiny yet flexible.I love how the mist is fine, sprays evenly, the spray nozzle doesn't clog, and leaves my hair bouncy yet sparkly.So many high alcohol content sprays dry my hair out and make it look dull, but this one doesn't.Worth every penny!

I bought Shaper Fierce with some high expectations, given my good experiences with the original Shaper (my only other 5-lippie hairspray) and the fact that it's around $20 a can where I live. It didn't disappoint. There is nothing else out there like this spray it offers a runway-quality hold without leaving any kind of residue or stickiness. I love the original Shaper, but as my hair gets longer it gets harder to maintain volume exactly where I want it, so I was looking for something a little more intense. Or rather, fierce. (I actually love the name, and the packaging of the entire revamped Sebastian line is eye-catching and simply gorgeous). It's the hardest hold spray in Sebastian's lineup, but if you absolutely must brush it out to restyle your hair, it won't argue. What more can you ask from a hairspray? I'm more than happy to spend the extra money to get a product of this quality. Shaper Fierce is a bulls-eye.
